Homegrown Chinese CPUs bring Core i7 Raptor Lake performance to domestic gaming PCs — Hygon C86-4G lands between a Core i7-13700 and Core i7-14700

Chinese chipmaker Hygon's C86-4G processor, featured in Thunderobot's Black Warrior Hunter Pro gaming PC, offers performance comparable to Intel's Raptor Lake models. The C86-4G, with 16 cores and 32 threads, utilizes AMD's Zen IP and supports DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 technologies. Benchmarks show the C86-4G competing with Intel's Core i7-12700, Core i7-13700, and Core i7-14700, excelling in multi-threaded tasks but lagging in single-threaded performance. While Hygon's CPUs show promise, Chinese domestic graphics cards still trail behind international competitors like Nvidia and AMD.
